Um...yeah. I'm having trouble connecting to Kazaa Lite Resurrection, and it tells me to disable XP's built-in firewall (which I assume is different from the firewall you can access through Network Connections), so...yeah. Title says it all. Thanks.

If you are behind a router you may have to do some configuration on it to use Kazaa. Secondly, if you are using a firewall, you shouldn't disable it but rather let it through. Consult your documentation on how (note: XP SP2's firewall is much easier to use than pre-SP2)
